Building on the success of their well-established range of Marumi Digital Filters, UK distributor Kenro has announced two new models aimed at the digital SLR user.
The new Marumi Super Digital High Grade Lenses Protect Filter features a hard coating which protects the lens surface from scratches, which makes it ideal for use in adverse working conditions. It is also oil and water repellent, enabling oil spots and water to be simply wiped off.
Marumi DHG filters feature an ultra low reflection coating which increases light transmission and is technically designed to avoid interference with CCD or CMOS digital sensors. In addition, the filter has a blackened outer rim to minimise internal reflection, flare and ghosting. The filter mount is matt black which further reduces both reflection and the vignetting effect encountered with wide angle lens. Available in sizes 49-82mm.
Also announced are the new Marumi Digital High Grade (DHG) Achromat Macro Lenses. These remarkably useful accessory lenses, available in two strengths; 330 (+3) and 200 (+5), effectively increases the macro capability of any lens. It is ideal for reproducing images of small subjects, such as jewellery, electronic components, etc where detail and sharpness are critical. The lenses are made to professional quality standards to provide full-frame sharpness and outstanding edge-to-edge image clarity.
